Instead of polling for changes, the source system sends an HTTP POST request to a specified URL with payload data describing the event. This approach reduces server load and ensures immediate reaction to events, making it essential for integrating disparate software systems, automating workflows, and synchronizing data across platforms like GitHub, Stripe, or Slack.</p>https://terms-en.ai-term-hub.com/en/terms/graphql/Sat, 18 Jul 2026 10:00:16 +0000https://terms-en.ai-term-hub.com/en/terms/graphql/<h2 id="definition">Definition</h2> <p>Developed by Facebook, GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, giving clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more.
